Contribution Overview

JideBuilder will let you create Jide components and standard Swing components as SwingBuilder does, because it doesn't override the default names of previously registered components in SwingBuilder, this means that you can mix both types of components with the same builder.

There are 5 *Searchable components that will add searching capabilities to a previously created widget or an internal one, exposing the searchable widget and the searchable wrapper if an 'id' attribute was provided, for example ComboBoxSearchable:

JIDE Common Layer defines a basic structure for dialogs with StandardDialog, which is an abstract class, you may create your own dialogs based on that template by calling 'standardDialog()', by default all 3 panels will be empty, but yout can provide your own content by calling 'dialogBannerPanel()', 'dialogContentPanel()' and 'dialogButtonPanel()' inside its closure.

All JTextComponents (even those created with regular SwingBuilder methods) will accept a 'selectAll' property, which will call com.jidesoft.swing.SelectAllUtils.install() on the component.
SearchableBar has an additional property 'install' which will register a SearchableBar.Installer automatically into the inmediate container. This property must be a Map and may have the following properties:

constraints: must be a valid Object accepted by the container's layout (required).

keyStroke: must be a javax.swing.KeyStroke, defaults to CTRL + F (optional).

Source Control

Building

JideBuilder uses Ant as its build tool, which means that if you want to
build your own version of JideBuilder from source you'll need to have it
installed. Follow the instructions at http://ant.apache.org
